There are certain moments in daytime television that one must witness for himself to truly grasp the magnitutde; Snoop Dogg's appearance on Martha Stewart's show is one of those moments. The rapper lurched onto the set yesterday as Martha described herself as "a homegirl from New Jersey" and then asked him — likely in all seriousness — if he can spell. Can these two get their own show instead of that Shot at Love rubbish?
NOT A GOOD THING "On Sept. 16, Fine Living will unveil a new original comedy series built around a provocative premise: mocking [Martha] Stewart. For a half hour, two hosts will critique — in 'candid and often acerbic' language, according to the channel — old clips from her 1990s cooking and craft show. Fine Living … calls the series Whatever, Martha!"
The New York Times Magazine can't be serious. There's no way. Why on earth would the mag put Tyra Banks on the same cover as the words "Oprah" and "Martha"? Unless the staff is referring to the ladies' obvious similarities. Remember that time Martha went undercover as a homeless woman for a few hours to discover the injustices of America? And remember when Oprah took off her jeans on national television? Or how about when Martha ripped a loose thread off a fake Chinatown handbag and proceeded to floss her teeth with it? So many groundbreaking moments of television, so little time …

It's confusing to see Carlos Santana, legendary guitarist and "activist," stumping for Macy's; it's downright depressing to see that, for the commercial, he's got to both appear to be a hustling busker playing in a mall and hang out with Mariah Carey.
Of course, not everyone has the luxury of being able to step over Fashion Week as if it were an errant mess on a city sidewalk. Occasionally, notable people are present for – and even active participants in – the clamorous, glamorous hubbub. To these precious few (or is it gullible many) we briefly offer our attention and pity.
If you're wondering how a multiple felon gets prime seating at Fashion Week, you must remember that every show is held in a moral vacuum, similar to Hell and Congressional hearings. After the jump, more from Zac Posen.
